Air handling unit

Abstract

This air handling unit (1) comprises a structural frame (3, 5), and air handling components (15) enclosed within a housing (7), at least one of said components (15) having a rectangular shape arranged orthogonally to an air flow direction (F1, F2), and mounted by its edges (151, 153) on the structural frame. The at least one of the components (15) is mounted by one of its edges (151) on at least one movable rail (17) which is mounted in a sliding manner in a stationary rail (19) integral with the structural frame (3, 5) or the housing (7), the movable rail (17) being extractable with respect to the stationary rail (19) out of the housing (7) so that the component (15) can be extracted from the air handling unit (1).

       2. Air handling unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the movable rail comprises, on an end located on the side of an opening provided in the housing, a handle for drawing the movable rail out of the stationary rail. 
     
     
       3. Air handling unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the movable rail comprises, on an end located on the opposite side from an opening provided in the housing, a hooked element in which the component is inserted so that it is integral in movement with the movable rail. 
     
     
       4. Air handling unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the movable rail is L-shaped. 
     
     
       5. Air handling unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the component comprises several sections assembled along the length of the movable rail. 
     
     
       6. Air handling unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the component is mounted in a sliding manner in the movable rail. 
     
     
       7. Air handling unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the component is a filter. 
     
     
       8. Air handling unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the component is a drop separator. 
     
     
       9. Air handling unit according to  claim 1 , wherein several components of the air handling unit are mounted on movable rails. 
     
     
       10. Air handling unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the second edge of the component, which is opposed to the first edge that is mounted in the movable rail, is inserted in a guiding rail fixed on the structural frame or on the housing. 
     
     
       11. Air handling unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the movable rail and the stationary rail are oriented perpendicular to a panel of the housing and facing an opening provided in the housing so that the movable rail can be extracted with respect to the stationary rail out of the housing through the opening provided in the housing. 
     
     
       12. Air handling unit according to  claim 11 , wherein the movable and stationary rails are provided on horizontal panels of the housing, and the opening in the housing is provided on a vertical panel of the housing. 
     
     
       13. Air handling unit comprising a structural frame, the air handling unit comprising air handling components enclosed within a housing, at least one of said components having a rectangular shape arranged orthogonally to an air flow direction (F 1 , F 2 ), and mounted by its edges on the structural frame, wherein the at least one of the components is mounted by one of its edges on a movable rail, the movable rail mounted in a sliding manner in a stationary rail integral with the structural frame or the housing, the movable rail being extractable with respect to the stationary rail out of the housing so that the component can be extracted from the air handling unit;
 wherein one or each of the movable rail and the stationary rail comprises a face provided with holes through which condensing liquids are evacuated towards a liquid recovery volume of the air handling unit. 
 
     
     
       14. Air handling unit comprising a structural frame, the air handling unit comprising air handling components enclosed within a housing, at least one of said components having a rectangular shape arranged orthogonally to an air flow direction (F 1 , F 2 ), and mounted by its edges on the structural frame, wherein the at least one of the components is mounted by one of its edges on a movable rail, the movable rail mounted in a sliding manner in a stationary rail integral with the structural frame or the housing, the movable rail being extractable with respect to the stationary rail out of the housing so that the component can be extracted from the air handling unit;
 wherein the component comprises several sections assembled along the length of the movable rail; 
 wherein supplementary movable rails are mounted in the movable rail for extracting the sections of the component.
